The TVI Take
1982 Best Picture nominee. Dustin Hoffman as a difficult actor who disguises himself as a woman to land a soap opera role and becomes a better man.
High cognitive demands from the gender commentary and layered performance. Some educational value about gender dynamics and the entertainment industry. Hoffman's Dorothy Michaels is both hilarious and genuinely feminist.
